Combined Building and Pest Inspection

A Combined Building and Pest inspection is our most comprehensive inspection service and is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for purchases as it covers both building defects and timber pests.

​

During a Combined Building and Pest Inspection we look for timber pests and major building defects such as:

• Leaking roofs or damaged roof plumbing

• Structural cracking

• Structural framing issues

• Leaking from wet areas

• Damp issues such as rising damp or penetrating damp

• Drainage or storm-water concerns

• Excessive damage to building items

• Excessive deterioration to building items

• Potential safety hazards

• Potential Fire Hazards

• Subterranean Termites or

• Evidence of termite activity

• Termite damage as well as evidence of any previous termite treatment. (Very Important)

• Timber borers or evidence of timber borers and damage

• Wood rot (wood decay fungi) damage and potential safety hazards in timber structures such as rotten timber steps, handrails and balconies

• We also report on any conditions that may be conducive to timber pest attack

 

During a Combined Building and Pest Inspection, we inspect the following areas:

• The Roof Exterior

• The Roof Interior

• The Building Exterior

• The Subfloor

• The Building Interior

• The Site up to 30m from the main dwelling

 

Purchasers should arrange a Building and Pest Inspection as soon as possible after making an offer.  Receiving the reports early during the 5 day cooling off period should allow enough time to digest and act on the information contained in the reports.

​

We strongly recommend that property buyers carry out a Combined Building and Pest Inspection to provide a full insight into a property. We are available to carry out Building and Pest Inspections throughout the Mid North Coast from Monday to Friday.
